AI, sustainability, NaaS, and Cybersecurity: here are 2025’s tech trends

A report published by the telecommunications company Colt Technology Services highlights the main trends for the new year.

A Season of Major Technological Transformations

The recent Digital Infrastructure Report, produced by Colt Technology Services, a leading UK telecommunications company, examines interviews with CIOs from various companies. The resulting picture shows us a period of significant change.

2025 will indeed be a year of rapid technological transformation, with artificial intelligence, sustainability, IT infrastructure management, and digital security as key elements. Companies that can adapt to these new challenges and opportunities, combining innovation and responsibility, will be the ones able to lead the market in the future.

The Need to Adopt Green-tech Solutions

With the advancement of artificial intelligence and large language models, which consume significant amounts of energy, innovation focused on sustainability and resource conservation will become a priority. Companies will be required to reduce energy consumption and adopt more persuasive environmental governance models.

In this context, the adoption of new sustainable technologies will be crucial for success. Collaboration between companies and suppliers to achieve ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) goals will play a key role in determining market competitiveness.

The strategic evolution of Naas and the importance of Cybersecurity

NaaS (Network as a Service) will then represent a strategic advancement in IT infrastructure, offering greater flexibility and scalability. For this sector, growth in 2025 is expected, linked to the development of advanced portals, improved automation, and greater integration with global partners. An evolution that will allow companies to manage their IT resources more efficiently and support the expansion of multi-cloud networks, which are fundamental for artificial intelligence.

Finally, let's not forget the issue of security. The increasing interaction between people, data, and devices outside traditional perimeters will necessitate a more advanced approach to Cybersecurity. The spread of the Zero-Trust Networking model and the SASE (Secure Access Service Edge) architecture will enable companies to proactively protect infrastructures and sensitive data.
